2017 Volkswagen e-Golf Review: Photo Gallery
CARS.COM — The easiest way to tell the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf apart from a gas Golf is, well, to check for the e-Golf badge on the rear hatch. Save for a couple of unique styling cues, the long-range — now up to a purported 124 miles on a full charge — electric hatchback otherwise is the spitting image of its fuel-burning family members.

The e-Golf distinguishes itself with smooth-sided turbine-style wheels and low-rolling resistance tires, as well as a telltale blue stripe across the grille and accent LED running lights in the lower front bumper. Like its brethren, 2017 updates include new, more squinty LED headlights and taillights.
Inside is the new optional Digital Cockpit with a 12.3-inch color LCD display and reconfigurable, customizable virtual gauges, as well as an optional 9.2-inch multimedia screen that will accommodate VW’s gesture control system in the future. Sporty cues like bolstered seats, a flat-bottom steering wheel and blue contrast stitching on the wheel and shifter complete the package.
The 2017 e-Golf is making its debut now at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. Check out the photo gallery below.
